Global Chalice Lighting for April 2012

The International Council of Unitarians and Universalists announces the 104th in its monthly series of global chalice lighting readings. Congregations worldwide are invited to participate. All ICUU-affiliated groups have been asked to submit brief chalice lightings for the project. Every month, a reading will be distributed to Unitarian and Universalist congregations around the world. We ask each congregation to use the reading for at least one worship service in the designated month, identifying it as the Global Chalice Lighting for that month and naming the group which submitted it. Readings will be circulated in English and, where different, in their original language. It is hoped that the ICUU Global Chalice Lighting Project will enhance the worship experience in our congregations and raise awareness of the international dimensions of our religious movement. This Global Chalice Lighting is submitted by the Unitarian Church of South Africa. It is to be used during April 2012.

We kindle this light in the centre of our circle. May it symbolise the light and life and warmth In the centre of our beings. May it mirror the light of fellow Unitarians here And around the world.
